Steph, Thanks so much for this episode! I had an MGB years back. Mine was a USA version if you recall that I'm American. It was a '77 and referred to as a Tourer here, having the trunk rack and the four speed transmission, and the paint was a fun yellow-lime color with black stripes. Your weather today reminded me of the powerful heater that it had. My fondest memory was the sound of it as my B had the most beautiful exhaust note. God Bless.

Those early cars with the wire wheels and origional dash look way cooler though. They always did look a little bit like a working man's E type. I bet when you drive one you feel like someone else from a different time. A very cool and once under appreciated classic sports car.

Just to clarify, rubber bumpers were not added to introduce the car into the US market. Tens of thousands of MGBs were sold in the US market from 1962 to 1974 with chrome bumpers before the era of 5-mph “safety bumpers” started in 1975 here in the states. In fact the US was by far MG’s biggest market, so we had long loved the car (and the marque). We Americans were as disappointed as anyone when British Leyland met the challenge of adapting to changing regulations by raising the suspension and tacking on massive (and massively ugly) rubber bumpers. Of course by that time the B was already pretty long in the tooth being a 13 year old design with virtually no updates at all. BL did try to develop a car for the US market with the introduction of the Triumph 7. But the design was a bit polarizing and found few fans.

That's a lovely example and Kev should be rightly proud of it. Pity you couldn't have a run with the top down though - it does make up a bit for being so low to the ground when you can also see the sky and be part of the scenery as you drive along. Topless driving (no pun intended) doesn't make for good sound quality when trying to video your progress though (been there, done that in a Stag.)

I had one of those plunger windscreen washers which I fitted to a 1955 Morris Oxford when the then new law came in. My brother worked in a truck repair workshop and got me one intended for a large truck. Its pump was huge and delivered a lot of water. One day I got pulled over for a roadside check, and when the cop could not find anything wrong, he stood by the screen and asked me to operate the washers. I pushed the plunger in with all the force I could muster, and the water hit the screen so hard, it bounced off and went all over the cop's uniform. Luckily he had a sense of humour.

I'd bought it as a "rolling tub" from someone who'd started it as a project. Rebuilt the engine in it and put the interior in it and I had a car. Driving it on a twisty road on a cool fall day with the top down was quite the experience.

Rubber bumper is a bit of a misnomer as they were rubber coated steel beams. My most modern car is a 78B I restored and removing the bumpers (and adding fiberglass Sebring valances) saved about 40kg from memory. It's also worth mentioning the overdrive is electrically operated and on most cars works on 3rd and 4th gear effectively giving you a 6 speed box. Wire wheels look nice but when worn out or damaged they are expensive to replace as you need to replace the wheel and the splined wheel hubs at the same time. They are also a bugger to keep clean! Minilites are much easier I find. I also upgraded to 15" over 14" wheels as they tyre choice is far better and the tyres look less balloony with the slightly lower profile.

When the clutch slave cylinder seals gave up the ghost I managed to get replacements from Toyota. In the 70’s in Zambia there were no spares for a lot of vehicles, so you had to make do with what you could get. I had an exhaust system made by a boilermaker in the nearby copper mine, I reckon that silencer would have lasted longer than the bodywork. Regrettably, I swapped it for a Yamaha 250 twin, that I managed to come off and do serious damage to myself. Cheers, Mike, Johannesburg.

A classic British roadster. I saw many growing up in California, but I saw many "foreign" cars, and still have a passion for XJ sedans. I hated the plastic or rubber bumper era. It ruined the lines of the vehicle. They also changed the carburetion in that era, going to single carburetors in most vehicles, as dual carburetors are harder to control emissions on. I have always felt that our laws ruined the European import market here, but Japanese imports hurt that market, too. The quick adoption of fuel injection could have been the savior, but would have made some cars uncompetitive on price. Still, Volkswagen, which was an entry level vehicle at that time, was one of the early embracers of that technology. There is nothing quite as pleasing as the sound of a British roadster with multiple carburetion. Great video!

The steering might have been lighter with the original 15.5" steering wheel and 155 wide tyres, check with Kev. Youngsters may prefer the "Spridgets" (badged MG Midgets or Austin Sprites), less expensive too. I can say this as I'm about Kev's age and have used two MGBs and two 'Spridgets' as dailes in the last 30 years. Good on Kev for using his B daily and through winter, very few B (or 'Spridget') owners do this.

My Mom's second car was a 1949 "low-light" Minor; she lived in Washington, D.C., and her Dad ran a service garage and worked on the diplomats' cars...so a "low-light" or two must've made it into the States...Her third car was a 1952 MG-TD which she adored...Her Mom (my Grandmom), as well as my Dad (before they got married) also had "TDs"!

They are such gorgeous looking cars - although I do love a convertible (yes I do sometimes miss my old SLK), I would probably prefer to own the MGB GT Coupe. But they do look lovely to me.

My father took a picture when he and my mom were dating of her leaning on the hood (bonnet) of his MGB. Same British Racing Green color and chrome grille. That picture is faded now, and I think I'll photoshop some color back into it to bring it back. He sold the car as she couldn't get the seat up enough to reach the pedals to drive it safely. I think he traded it in for his Datsun 510 two door, which I also wish I could have. Neat episode Steph, as seeing snow on the hills is an unusual sight here in Florida USA. How I do love these videos!
